FLIPPER FEELS FINE. The Cleveland Indians' "problem
child," Bob Feller, hopes his troubles are over tor a while. With his
arm back in shape, Manager Steve O'Neill hopes to send the farm
boy to the mound every five days it the arm will stand It.
the location best suited lor ciusy
observation of the match and for
Importnnt technical actions on the
parts of the famous golfers. Bobby
Jones' expert suggestions follow:
First, with regard to selecting
locations for observation. Ilo not
place yourself too close to the
player you choose to watch. The
action la so rapid that Utile ran
be seen from close range. At a
distance of fifty or a hundred
feet, or even more, you will he
able to see all the Important
movements of the stroke, and
relate Ihcm more nearly In llielr
proper order. If the rrowtl Is
large and you are nnahle to find
a suitable location for one shot,
walk ahead to the green or the
next lee and place yourself as
you desire.
Make It a point to study each
player from several different an
glrs from his front, at right
angles to the play, from behind
the shot being played, from the
player's rear, again nt right angles
to the play, and from a location
down the fairway on either side.
The mannerisms of the players
will cause their swings lo ap
pear vastly different. But In Im
portant respects their methods
will be Identical. These are the
fundamentals and It Is thte
which should be studied. Some
of them ore:
1. The hock swing will start
bark In a broad sweep. At first
the head of Ihe club will travel
close to the ground. There will
he no suggestion that It Is being
picked up or lifted. In slow mo
tion, the action will appear lo
originate In the center of the
player's body, and, following the
turn of his trunk, the club will
be pushed back by the left side.
Knowing this, perhaps your eye
will he able to follow II.
3. From your locution behind
the shut being played, you may
easily observe that the path of
the cluhliead never passes beyond
an Imaginary line from the hole
through the bal. In other words,
unless he Is plating an Inten
tional slice, the player will never
allow his club to move out so
far that It must approach the
hall from outside this line. You
must try to see how this Is made
possible by Initiating the down
swing by the liiinlmlliig of the
hips. .
3. You will see also tlm !iiee
players do not throw the cluh
head with the hands from the
top of the swing. Yon will note
that their wrists remain rocked
at nlmost Ihe full angle until
their hands have moved down
approximately to the level of
(heir waists. You will see that
the right elbow returns to the
side of the trunk almost as soon
as the downswing gets under
way.
4. Apart from details, you will
recelte general Impressions, many
of which are of value. Y'ou will
notice that these men hnhl them
selves up to the ball as they
hit It. They never fall back
upon their rlcht Icrs. As a re

sult, their clubs never come up
abruptly after striking the ball.
In every case, the ore of the
swing Is flot near the bottom
as the elubhead goes out towards
the hole, or, If an Iron Is used,
rips up the turf In front of the
original location of the hall.
5. Yuu will observe that all of
the players display a similar
rhythm a leisurely backswlng,
an unhurried stnrt down, smooth
acceleration during the hitting
stroke, leading to a culmination
of effort Immediately prior to
contact. 1 have known many
golfers to be greatly Improved
merely by catching this rhythm,
without worrying themselves with
more elusive details.

Cooper and Little to Play
Thompson and Smith On
Egan Memorial Dedication
Program at Rogue Links
When Harry Cooper and Lawson
Little tee off at the Rogue Valley
Oolf club at 3 o'clock Sunday after
noon against Jimmy Thomson and
Horton Smith In an 18-hole exhibition
match that will feature the H.
Chandler Egan memorial fountain
dedication, hundreds of golf enthusi
asts will be witnessing a quartet that
is rated the cream of the world's pro
fessional dlvot-dlgglng brigade.
Probably the best known Is Law
son Little, the former Stanford uni
versity student who. while he was
still attending the Palo Alto Insti
tution, copped the British amateur
championship and came back to
America to win this country's na
tional amateur. That was Id 1934.
The next year, Little did what no
other golfer In history had ever done -
before him he again shot his way
to both the British and American
national amateur championships. It
was the repeat "double slam," one
of golfdom's greatest feats, and It
assured Lawson Little of a position
on golf's roll of honor for all time
to oome. Following the banner sea
son. Little turned professional and
is at present one of the leading
money winners of the year.
Long Driver.
Other titles won by Little include
the Canadian open of 1037 and the
1937 San Francisco match play tour
nament In which the world's greatest
competed. Next to Jimmy Thomson.
Little is considered the longest driver
In the world.
Teamed with Little In the exhibi
tion match will be Llghthorse Harry
Cooper, also one of the big money
winners of 1936, and winner of the
Los AJigeles, Houston and St. Peters
burg opens. Cooper averaged 71 36
strokes per round In many tourna
ments last year to finish second In
the Bendlx cup ratings.
Jimmy Thomson, while he has
never won a major tournament. Is
considered by experts and other golf
ers as the longest hitter of a golf
ball In the world. Many of his tee
shots travel 300 and more yards. He
was runner-up In the 1936 National
P. O. A. tournament and also runner-up
In the 1937 Charleston open.
Smith Money Player.
Thomson's partner will be the fam
ous Horton Smith, who won more
money last year than any other pro
fessional on earth. He boasts an out
standing tournament record and, next
to Bobby Jones, Is probably the finest
shot-maker of all time.
In the demonstration at 11 a. m.
Sunday, Smith will explain the shots
while Little. Thomson and Cooper
will put his words Into action.
Upwards of 1500 spectators are ex
pected to follow the quartet on Its
18-hole Journey over the excellent
fairways of the Rogue Valley Qol
club. Oreens, fairways and tee mar
shals have been appointed to take
care of the crowd. As many automo
biles as possible will be parked Inside
the grounds, with the overflow being
routed to a nearby field.

FRAMSTED HOLDS&wS
BY SILL
By a meagre II percentage points,
Orvllle Framsted retained his South
ern Oregon league batting leadership
following games last Sunday. The
threat to Pramsted's domination Is
being provided by a teammate on
the Crescent City club, and a pitcher,
at that. He Is Lefty Mike Roll, ace
hurler, and Just one month ago be
was batting a mere .204. Since then
he has crashed out 8 hits In 13
trips to seriously threaten his center-fielding
teammate.
Framsted also leads in the runs-
scored department with 14, one bet
ter than three other circuit speed
demons have garnered.
Largest hitting gain of the week
was that enjoyed by Wally Klckert,
Medford second baseman, who col
lected 7 hits In 8 chances In two
games to boost his average from 311
to .357.
Last Sunday saw the hitting streak
of Melvln McCarthy, Orants Pass
third baseman, halted by Medford's
Jack Hughes, McCarthy went hltless
for the first time this season and
after connecting safely In 13 straight
games.
